Chapter 186: The descendants of the Xiao family
Xiao family, Bai Ming'er walked into the door with Xiao Chen's arm, and saw Mrs. Xiao sitting in the living room holding a Persian cat in a graceful and luxurious manner.
Seeing Mrs. Xiao, Bai Ming'er was still a little timid in her heart, but today she had to come, so she couldn't be stage frightened. stepped forward and said politely: "Auntie, have a good New Year." ”
Bai Ming'er didn't deliberately ask Xiao Chen to bring her back in order to please Mrs. Xiao. It's just that it's the New Year, and everyone gets together as a family, but Mrs. Xiao stays alone in the main house, looking a little lonely, so Bai Ming'er wants to bring her two children over to have a good time.
Mrs. Xiao was closing her eyes and recuperating, and her well-maintained hand was stroking the quiet Persian cat in her arms. Hearing Bai Ming'er's greeting, Mrs. Xiao didn't respond for a long time, and just when Bai Ming'er was about to give up, Mrs. Xiao lazily opened her eyes and bowed slightly: "Hmm." ”
At this moment, the two children behind him ran in front of Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma, Happy New Year." Then he put a childish kiss on Mrs. Xiao's cheek.
As soon as she saw her two grandsons, Mrs. Xiao put down the Persian cat in her hand, and immediately smiled, "Okay, okay, Sister-in-law Chen, hurry up and bring the red envelope." Holding the two sensible children, Mrs. Xiao couldn't close her mouth happily.
Although Mrs. Xiao doesn't like Bai Ming'er, she likes the two grandsons from the bottom of her heart, after all, they have the blood of their Xiao family on their bodies, and Mrs. Xiao can't hate this point.
Seeing such a harmonious scene, Bai Ming'er showed a happy smile, and Xiao Chen looked at Bai Ming'er and patted Bai Ming'er's arm as if she was comforting, everything was silent.
At the dinner table, it was quiet, and the two children were very sensible and did not make any sound, the more they looked at the two children, the more proud Mrs. Xiao became, worthy of being the children and grandchildren of their Xiao family, but they never thought that the two children's upbringing was so good, and it was Bai Ming'er's education that was good.
This meal was very depressing for Bai Ming'er, she had never eaten so quietly, and she had to look at Mrs. Xiao's face from time to time.
Xiao Chen could see that Bai Ming'er was not happy to eat, so he picked up the dishes and put them in Bai Ming'er's bowl, with a soothing smile.
Bai Ming'er showed a sincere smile and thanked Xiao Chen for his thoughtfulness.
Mrs. Xiao put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the napkin in the maid's hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at Bai Ming'er opposite, and said in a strong voice in a tone that could not be refused: "Miss Bai, tomorrow I will take Doudou and Guagua" to change the household registration." ”
Hearing Mrs. Xiao's words, Bai Ming'er took the chopsticks in her hand and paused. Miss Bai? There is really a strange and indifferent title, it turns out that Mrs. Xiao has never accepted herself at all, Bai Ming'er showed a wry smile.
Xiao Chen's brows furrowed, obviously not expecting Mrs. Xiao to mention this matter at the dinner table again. In fact, when she knew that Dao Doudou and Guagua were Xiao Chen's children, Mrs. Xiao intended to let the two children immediately change their surname back to Xiao, but they were all rejected by Xiao Chen for various reasons.
Xiao Chen rejected Mrs. Xiao's words with a stronger attitude, and said coldly: "No matter whether these two children are surnamed Xiao or Bai, they can't change the fact that they are my Xiao Chen's children. There's no need to let the two children change their names, trouble. ”
Xiao Chen knew how much Bai Ming'er valued the two children, Xiao Chen didn't want Bai Ming'er to think that he was with her to snatch the two children, so Xiao Chen never thought of letting the two children have his surname, anyway, it was his child, and it didn't matter whose surname he was.
Mrs. Xiao was not happy when she heard Xiao Chen's words, she slapped her palm on the table to show her anger, and said with an angry face: "Nonsense, Doudou and Guagua, are the descendants of our Xiao family, how can they have the same surname as outsiders, they must have the surname Xiao." ”
Xiao Chen wanted to continue to refute, but Bai Ming'er took Xiao Chen's hand and opened her mouth one step ahead of Xiao Chen: "What my aunt said is that the child is the descendant of the Xiao family, let them change their surname back to Xiao, I have no opinion." ”
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he shouted a little angrily, "Ming'er." ”
Mrs. Xiao smiled with satisfaction and stopped talking.
Doudou and Guagua, who were sitting below, looked at Mrs. Xiao, who was full of anger, and pursed their lips dissatisfied. They don't care who their surname is, as long as their mommy agrees. However, Mrs. Xiao's attitude towards Bai Ming'er caused them to be dissatisfied, if it wasn't for their father's warning to them before he came, they would have fallen out long ago, who would like this old witch.
Back in the room, Xiao Chen immediately spoke: "Ming'er, you don't need to let the two children change their names in order to please my mother, I will go and tell her, and I will talk about the name change later." ”
Knowing that Xiao Chen said this because he cared about his feelings, Bai Ming'er was very moved.
Holding Xiao Chen's hand, he raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen affectionately, and said word by word: "Xiao Chen, I know that you care about me." But you also said that no matter whether the two children are surnamed Bai or Xiao, they are all our children. We don't need to mess with your mom about this. I really wanted my two children to change their names. ”
It was not easy for the two of them to get to where they are today, and Bai Ming'er didn't want to have a fight with Mrs. Xiao again over this matter.
In the past, Bai Ming'er might think that Xiao Chen's purpose with him was not pure because of the change of name, after going through so many things, Bai Ming'er had already believed that Xiao Chen was like believing in herself.
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly, pecked and kissed Bai Ming'er's cherry lips, and said doting and helplessly: "You." He didn't know that Bai Ming'er also cared about himself so he did this.
Maybe this is the first step for Bai Ming'er to please Mrs. Xiao, but Xiao Chen, who knows Mrs. Xiao deeply, understands that Mrs. Xiao will not change her opinion of Bai Ming'er because of this matter. But so what, she Bai Ming'er is his Xiao Chen's woman, and she doesn't need anyone's consent.
Leaning on Xiao Chen's arms, Bai Ming'er said a little sullenly: "Xiao Chen, what do you say your aunt doesn't like me?" "In the past, Bai Ming'er didn't care if Mrs. Xiao liked her or not, and she didn't like Mrs. Xiao anyway, but now because of Xiao Chen, she has to care.
Alas, obviously I didn't want to make her sad the most, but I still hurt her.
Hugging Bai Ming'er, Xiao Chen said softly: "Don't think so much, whether she agrees or not, you Bai Ming'er is my woman in this life, and you can't be ignored." ”
"Xiao Chen." Looking up with red eyes and tears trembling in his eyes, he could always easily say things that moved him.
"Fool." Xiao Chen showed a charming smile and touched Bai Ming'er's soft hair lovingly.
After lunch, Xiao Chen answered a phone call and needed to leave. But leaving the child and Bai Ming'er in the Xiao family like this, Xiao Chen was a little uneasy, so he wanted Bai Ming'er to leave with him.
Bai Ming'er smiled and said, "Xiao Chen, who has nothing to do, you go and get busy with you, and come to pick us up when you're done." Bai Ming'er felt that Xiao Chen was making a fuss, how could Mrs. Xiao hate her and still eat her in one bite, but being so meticulously cared for by Xiao Chen, Bai Ming'er was still quite useful.
The two children were playing with Mrs. Xiao downstairs, and Bai Ming'er was lazy and looked left and right in Xiao Chen's room, touching east and west from time to time. Although I have been here before, I only stayed for one day, and at that time, I only thought about how to fix Xiao Chen, and how could I have any intention to visit the room, so I had the heart to watch it this time.
There was a knock on the door, Bai Ming'er shouted "enter", and Sister-in-law Chen walked in with a fruit plate.
Seeing Sister-in-law Chen, Bai Ming'er was surprised and surprised. During the time in the Xiao family before, only Sister-in-law Chen was the only one who was kind to herself. But Bai Ming'er didn't know that the person who betrayed her was also Sister-in-law Chen.
"Sister-in-law Chen." Bai Ming'er happily pulled Sister-in-law Chen in.
"Miss Ming'er." Sister-in-law Chen smiled, looking kind.
The two talked for a long time and told about what had happened in the past five years. For Sister-in-law Chen, Bai Ming'er never regarded her as a servant, but a respectable elder.
"Miss Bai, Madame told you to go down." When she was chatting happily with Sister-in-law Chen, a maid said respectfully at the door.
As soon as Bai Ming'er wanted to get up, Sister-in-law Chen took Bai Ming'er's hand and said with concern: "Miss Ming'er, let's wait for the young master to come back before going down." ”
"Sister-in-law Chen, who has nothing to do." Bai Ming'er smiled indifferently, with a look of disapproval, and followed the servant downstairs.
Bai Ming'er went downstairs and didn't see the two children, thinking that she should have been taken out of the room by the maid to play. In the huge living room, there were only Bai Ming'er and Mrs. Xiao and a Persian cat. It seems that Mrs. Xiao deliberately dominates everyone.
Mrs. Xiao lay on the wicker chair and did not speak for a long time. Mrs. Xiao didn't speak, and Bai Ming'er naturally had nothing to say, so she just stood in place.
Finally, Mrs. Xiao opened her eyes lazily, the sharpness in her eyes flashed, and she slowly spoke: "Listen to Chen'er, your wedding will be held in spring again?" ”
Bai Ming'er didn't know what Mrs. Xiao meant by asking this, but she still nodded. "Hmm."
"Okay, you can move here tomorrow, how can the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family still live in her mother's house." Mrs. Xiao opened her mouth in a natural tone, and she was even more dissatisfied with Xiao Chen's still living in the Bai family.
"Huh?" Bai Ming'er's eyes widened in shock, not understanding what Madame Xiao was saying. She agreed to her and Xiao Chen's wedding, but why did she have to move here.
Looking at Bai Ming'er's surprised look, Mrs. Xiao frowned dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter, Chen'er hasn't told you yet?" ”
Bai Ming'er shook her head.
"I promised you to get married, but on the condition that you, Chen'er, and the children must live in the main house. is about to get married, and you must remember the rules of the Xiao family and learn basic etiquette. Look at what you look like now, standing without standing, sitting without sitting. How can she become the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family. Looking at Bai Ming'er, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but want to reprimand.
I really don't understand what Chen'er likes about her, she doesn't look like a lady at all, such a daughter-in-law will only lose the face of their Xiao family if she brings it out. God knows that Mrs. Xiao cares about her face the most.
